Edward John Spencer, Viscount Althorp married The Honourable Frances Roche on June 1, 1954 at Westminster Abbey.

The Queen wasn’t ‘a friend’ of the considerably younger Frances Roche, as the commentary states. However both Frances’s parents were friends of the RF and John Spencer did serve at Court for a little while.

I’ve always thought that Harry had a physical resemblance to John Spencer.

I never knew that they married at Westminster Abbey and there was quite a turnout from the Royal Family too!

Princess Diana did not want to get married at Westminster Abbey because this was where her parents were wed. Their marriage ended in divorce.
